    Hell, yes...

    That new Skoda ad with the woman screaming NEUSSSSSSSEDDDDD. Bloody hell.


    I've mentioned it before, it's SO annoying!

    Then there's Batchelor's beans and peas, they really are playing on the shouty, screamy radio ads. ("Shouty voices, shouting on stuff which is not shout-worthy" (paraphrased)). I kinda like that one, even though I never buy tinned peas and beans. :)

    Does anyone know exactly what laws the Sunday Business Post got changed?

    And if you thought someone said: "Do you believe in goats?" would you just say - ah yeah, of course I do. :confused:

    very very annoying VHI ad is back with the couple talking about something unexpected happening to them "i d-o-n-t know...i'm not in that mindset just keep going...just keep going"

    Wiltshire Farm Foods.

    "Will I stick it in the freezer for you, Mary?"

    "Is that what we're calling it these days, Jimmy?"

    It's a particularly bad one - it's like an out-take in the recording studio. They sound miserable altogether.

    It just makes no sense. Any of it. It'd be like someone asking you do you believe in cars of bicycles. To which your reaction would probably be "sorry, what? I've clearly misheard you"

    Then she lets out a scream, as if there's a ghost, and then there's the sound of a goat.

    What's she screaming at?

    The goat.

    It’s a gag. Don’t worry about it. Be grand

    But why is she screaming at a goat?

    Better than staring at one, I suppose.

    Ad on Radio Nova, Sunshine....

    "Need expert vehicle repairs?..Stat !...Trust Auto Doctor". etc etc.

    Am I missing something, what exactly is "Stat"??? And why does he say it??

    Stat is some kind of medical jargon meaning 'right now', 'straight away', that kind of thing.

    Just heard the Gaiety Panto ad. :confused: It's only Septermber ffs. I thought we would be safe from it for another month or two at least.

    There's another annoying kid on the scene. Something about getting his/her father(not sure which because it's screeching) to make a will.

    Hats off to the greyhound racing ad taking the mick out of the politically correct scumbags. I hope some are very, very upset by it.

    This is the first I've heard about it. I doubt most people are paying attention to them anymore. Greyhound racing is on the way out.

    I actually really like that one, they nail the guy who just ****es on about golf, and thinks he's a pro really well I think!

    "PITY, because your putting....."

    "The hazard on the 9th is usually my waterloo".

    I think we all know someone like that!

    This probably belongs in the Trivial things that annoy me thread, but for years, I've always hated it when a company would take out an ad on national radio if they were giving out their phone number they leave out the area code. It's bad enough in earlier times but these days when most of us use mobile phones now you could be standing right outside the building and you need that area code.

    This too shall pass.
